7:03 am
kim, chloe, courtney, or kris. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is on assignment so anthony mason is with us. >> happy friday. >> happy friday to you. there's no relief in the midwest and southeast where torrential floods have claimed two lives. ten more inches of rain fell overnight. >> this morning flood watches and warnings are posted from kansas to tennessee which is being hit especially hard. as jennifer reyes from our affiliate tv station tells us some families have lost everything. >> reporter: good morning, norah, anthony. i'm standing outside of one of two red cross shelters. the flash flood came through this area faster and stronger than anyone had expected. the devastating floodwaters began rapidly rising in just
7:04 am
three hours in nashville thursday. the downpour left cars submerged on roads and more than 100 homes and businesses completely flooded out forcing residents the seek higher ground on rooftops until help arrived. >> i think i'm still in shock. it's happened. i can't believe it happened again. the floor started rip ling because it's a floating floor. it was literally floating. we put everything we could real fast up high. >> reporter: in the englewood suburb of nashville, homeowners are battling the second flood wave in only three year and still rebuilding from the last disaster. >> all the cabinets will have to be done everything from about here down will have to come back out of the house. >> reporter: emergency responders received over 200 calls for help throughout the day and even rescued a 5-week-old baby from the rushing water, and with dozens of homes uninhabitable, the red cross set up shelters for people displaced
7:05 am
by the flood. >> right now we're getting the shelters ready. we don't know how many are going to come but we want to be ready, especially given the rain forecast. >> reporter: forecasters say more rain is on its way for residents who are already up to their necks. thankfully there were no deaths reported in nashville. red cause officials say they're willing to stay open as long as they have to. norah, anthony. >> and meteorologist craig setzer of wfor has more. what's it like this morning? >> fortunately there's been a break overlast night. overnight most of the activity, it was to the north of those hardest hit areas north of kentucky but there are more big thunderstorms upstream right now across oklahoma, kansas moving into missouri arkansas. flood advisory flood watches,
7:06 am
and flood warnings are also in effect and models showing more heavy rainfall through the day possible today, tonight, and even tomorrow across areas that do not need any additional rainfall. so those folks are going to have to stay set for more potential flooding. anthony, norah? >> thank you. high winds are fueling a fast-moving wildfire. flames are burning 90 miles east of los angeles. more homes have been destroyed and more people have been forced to get out. ben tracy is in white palms, california. good morning. >> reporter: norah, good morning. some progress has been made. it's now 20% contained and they're expecting the containment number will rise. the big problem for wildfires are the winds. after a wildfire yesterday that allowed them to make progress the winds are blowing in morning and that's going to make the fire even more unpredictable. the fire fight is now in its third day being waged by an army
7:07 am
of 1,000 firefighters. what is the condition of these brush? >> it's pretty doggone dry. >> reporter: they were quickly trying to hose down and cut out brush near homes. >> right now we have active fires going on. like i said we're trying to make sure these pockets don't turn into that over there. the bottom line is we don't want to lose structures. >> reporter: with rugged terrain, dry conditions and steady winds, crews have also had to fight the fire with fire. they have intention amelie lit massive backfires on hillsides to create larger containment lines. >> i'm afraid the fire is going to come back down toward my house again. >> steve has been hosing down his property since he survived the firestorm wednesday night. >> you wouldn't want to lose everything and start over again. i've been here 40 years. i plan on retiring here. that's what gets me emotional. >> reporter: another home nearby is saved by strangers.
7:08 am
they came to document the fire. they found this garage with a car inside engulfed in flames. shaun put down his camera and picked up a hose. >> we finally got some water on it. i was spraying the side of the house, and it's still here. >> this morning you're thinking man, i'm hearing a lot about wildfires this year. that's because 21,000 acres have burned more this year than last year and the peak of the fire season doesn't arrive for another month. >> thanks, ben. the winds look particularly bad out there, ben. >> reporter: they're blowing. >> ben tracy, thanks. another terror threat this morning. the state department has ordered the evacuation of nonessential personnel from the u.s. consulate in lahore pakistan. the u.s. embassy spokeswoman in islamabad tells cbs news intelligence points to the lahore mission as a target. american citizens are being
7:09 am
warned not to travel to pakistan. the latest scare is not related to this week's closings of 19 other diplomatic posts. >> with us now, national security nannal list alnalyst juan. whoo are we seeing now? >> you're seeing the measure that's going on today. >> let's turn now to the operation going on in yemen. yesterday we heard three drone strikes in one day taking out a dozen militants. why are they -- who specifically are they targeting? >> well, the u.s. government and yemeni government are going to do anything post to disrupt anything that the group in yemen is planning on doing. that means if they have targets that are related to cells, safe
7:10 am
houses, any key targets or individuals who are part of that group, they're going to hit them. what they're trying to do is take off the battlefield anyone who presents a threat and that's why you've seen the uptick in kinetic strikes. >> juan, some of our foreign partners are suggesting that because we're closing these embassies it sort of portrays us as weak. how do you feel about that? >> it's a tough balance. we were stung for not having taken more precautionary measures to protect our ambassadors and others in benghazi before that attack so the administration wants to protect our personnel and sites. the criticism makes a point. we don't want to close our diplomatic doors for too long otherwise that demonstrates weakness and that will go high every time al qaeda says boo. >> at what point do you reopen them and at what point do you actually know they're safe? >> that's the challenge,
7:11 am
anthony. we may not know. this threat may persist and we may not get specific enough information to say it's over or it's not going to manifest. so authorities are going to be faced with a difficult question as to when they open up the diplomatic doors zbeen. >> juan, quickly, the"the wall street journal" has an interesting story that essentially the terrorist plot that shut down the 19 posts was not ordered by their leader but rather from the yemeni branch. why do you think the administration wanted to correct that? >> i thank want to demonstrate that the al qaeda core is decimate decimated. but this is not surprising. we know they've moved to other parts of the world and the challenge here is you have an al qaeda group that's me as the ta sized and has set off challenging threats. president obama will be taking questions on those topics
7:12 am
and more in a news conference this afternoon. major garrett is at the white house. major, a lot of topics to be discussed. >> reporter: a great deal of topics norah and anthony. evacuation of embassy personnel, yemen, the uptick of strikes by drones. terror alert, russian issues. all of those terror alerts and security situations will sort of haunt that vacation as will the destabilized situation in egypt. the president said his deputy secretary of state there and two members of the senate john mccain and lindsey graham to try to negotiate efforts, those have fired. the white house seems powerless to direct things. he'll use his press conference to again, drive his retooled economic message which reemphasizes debt reduction and elevates job growth and wage growth and the president will
7:13 am
try to use that message after he returns from his vacation to persuade republicans not at to force a confrontation overa shutdown or crisis over a debt ceiling that could lead to a government default. norah and anthony? >> thank you. cbs news will bring you live coverage of the pr's conference scheduled for 3:00 p.m. eastern time right here on cbs news. yesterday the president waved off questions about his decision to cancel a meeting with president vladimir putin. former secretary of state condo lydaeeza leeza rice has more. >> the relationship today is really terrible just to be very blunt about it. but it's not a cold war.
7:14 am
the russia of today has diminished counsel. it is on any given day the 14th or 15th or 16th large enough economy in the world in a world in which economy matters. >> it has influence. influence in syria and influence in iran and do we sacrifice that kind of relationship if you don't try to talk to putin one on one in moscow? >> you have to start with the fact that we have very few overlapping interests any longer with russia with this russia. the russians are not going to cooperate on bashirar al assad or iran. i don't think that you sacrifice very much by saying to putin in russia look we are not going to sacrifice our interest trying to court you. >> you support the president's decision not to go after the
7:15 am
g-20 in moscow. >> the president is absolutely right not to go to moscow for bilateral conversation with putin at this time. there's nothing to talk about. and the slap in the face to the united states of america of giving asylum to edward snowden, the president absolutely cannot go to a bilateral conversation with vladimir putin. president obama tried to quote, reset relations with russia. we reset and russia didn't and so the question is what's left of our interest in dealing with this russia? >> you know it's interesting to hear condoleeza rice studied russia from the beginning. that was her expertise. she said look it's not what it was. >> which is almost like saying it's not worth it which is very interesting. plus, the size of the economy, 14th 15th it is a diminished
7:16 am
power. we'll have more conversation with condoleeza rice. we look at the terror alert and the future of the war on terror. and the pentagon is getting ready to release new rules on sexual assault in the military. chuck hagel talked with commanders on thursday to talk about the new measures. they could start next week. jan crawford is live with new details. good morning. >> good morning, norah. here's the thing with the timing. it comes as these wide-ranging reforms that top military brass oppose are starting to gain some steam in congress. according to a memo obtained by cbs news secretary hagel's plans would include routine independent reviews of sexual assault investigations notification of top military leaders immediately after cases are reported. and prohibition on inappropriate relations between trainers and trainees. speaking wednesday to troops at
7:17 am
a marine base in california president obama said combatting sexual assault in the military is a top priority. >> we are going to work together all of us to stop these crimes of sexual assault and uphold the honor and the integrity that defines the finest military on earth. >> the pentagon has been under heavy scrutiny and criticism in congress after several high-profile cases of sexual misconduct. an air force officer who had a sexual assault unit was charged in may after groping a woman at a virginia parking lot. at a u.s. navel academy, three midshipmen were charged with sexually assaulting a female mid shipman. >> victims will only feel safe when commanders are taken out of the process and professional attorneys and judges take over the process.
7:18 am
>> reporter: on capitol hill lawmakers like kiersten gillibrand are promoting administration taking it out of the hands of the military commanders. at a hearing this summer with top military brass gillibrand argued they were out of touch. >> not every single commander can discontinue zbish between a sexual assault. >> our goals should be to hold commanders more accountable. not render them less able to correct the crisis. >> now, the pentagon's proposal of course, would keep those decisions within the military's discretion. so anthony and norah, these efforts are not clear to show they're in front of this are going to satisfy congress. >> thank you, jan. police along four western states including canada and mexico are on the search for joe dimaggio.
7:19 am

7:32 am
i'm still going around shaking everybody's hands. >> reporter: forget about the few tackles he made. banks' real story lies in what it took for him to get here. in 2002 banks was a star high school player with a full ride to usc, but when a fellow student accused him of rape banks was tried and sentenced to five years in prison. then nine years later, his accuser caught on a hidden camera admitted it was all a lie. >> people see me as something that i'm not, you know? >> reporter: in may of last year, banks was exonerated. >> it was bittersweet. i was so happy to hear those words, but just still -- i'll still left with that question of why. >> reporter: this off-season he was signed by the atlanta falcons. banks knows he has an uphill climb ahead of him. but after all he's been through,

it's 8:00 a.m. welcome back to "cbs this morning." dangeous california wildfire threatens hundreds of homes, forcing thousands to flee. officials say it's one of the fastest growing fires they've ever seen. condoleezza rice says we'd better keep our guard up with al qaeda. more with charlie rose's interview and the secretary of state. the ship from tv that changed the crew industry is docking forever. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> this flash flood came through this area faster and stronger
8:01 am
than anyone had expected. >> the flood warnings and watches are posted from kansas to tennessee. >> fortunately there's been a break in the action overnight, but there are more big thunderstorms upstream. >> the fire has now burn 14d,000 acres here. it's now 20% contained. >> i'm ready to get out of here if we have to. >> the state department has ordered the evacuation of nonessential personnel from the u.s. consulate in lahore pakistan. >> with this threat and threat coming out of yemen and perhaps other affiliates of al qaeda, this threat may persist. >> this group of 16 had been playing together playing the powerball for seven years in this nearby township in new jersey and wednesday night they hit it very big. >> a second winning ticket belongs to an electrical nerj from ham lake minnesota. >> it's a dream come true. i'm still fighting for a spot on the team but i said i would make it to the nfl. lebron james of the miami heat had to report for jury duty
8:02 am
there. of course, he'll be there with 11 jurors helping to decide the case but you know he'll wind up doing it all by himself. good morning. i'm norah o'donnell with anthony mason. charlie rose is on assignment and gayle is off today. millions of people are watching the weather in the midwest and the northeast. more heavy rain is coming and that could mean new flooding problems. >> flood watches and warnings are up in several states. rising waters caused big trouble in nashville where seven inches of rain fell in just a few hours. the rainfall was just as bad in parts of kansas city missouri and arkansas. this week's flooding is blamed for two deaths in missouri. it's dry and windy in southern california this morning. that's bad news for crews trying to control a fast-growing wildfire threatening several mountain villages east of language. ben tracy is at the scene in
8:03 am
white-water, california. ben, where do things stand this morning? >> reporter: anthony as you mentioned the gusting winds are going to complicate things for firefighters. just as they were starting to get a handle on this blaze it's now 20% contained. it has now burned 14,000 acres here in mostly mountain towns. 1,400 firefighters are fighting the blaze that's destroyed 26 homes. as of this morning about 500 homes are under mandatory evacuation orders including community of snow creek which is a small area between the mountains and palm springs, but of course, the real wild card here are the wild winds. whether or not they die down after the sun comes up if the winds stay blowing like they are right now, this is going to be a very, very tough day on the fire line for the firefighters here. anthony and norah? >> ben tracy, thank you. and the white house press secretary says russia's decision to give edward snowden asylum was a deciding factor in
8:04 am
president obama deciding to cancel the upcoming meeting summit but jay carney said in his words, it wasn't the only factor. >> we have a lot of fish to fry with the russians. we have a lot of issues to engage with the russians over, and there's a two-plus-two ministerial meeting tomorrow here in washington, and, you know, there will be a host of topics. so this is not the focus of our engagement with russia but it is not something that we're dropping by any means. >> carney says the president still believes the nsa leaker should be returned to the u.s. to face charges. the u.s./russia relationship is likely to be a hot topic this afternoon as president holds a news conference. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. what can we expect? >> reporter: we'll expect questions on the relationship. vladimir putin has returned to power in russia. that's also true and convenient for the white house because it takes president obama off the
8:05 am
hook, but the reality is this would be two successful u.s. pretties pretty bush and now president obama. they have been frustrated by his particularly aggressive management style as the head of the russian government. that's something that's now taken the u.s./russian relations to the point almost where they were during prior years which is not where president obama ever wanted it to get to. >> terror threats will come up with not only the closing of the 19 embassies but the news today of the evacuation and closing of the consulate in lahore, pakistan. how does the white house respond to critics who say we look weak by overreacting? >> reporter: on the weeksness charge the white house says look, strength is something we project in protecting our people and all the diplomatist posts. there's nothing new that's been introduced into this debate overnight. it undercuts the central message this week which is yes, they
8:06 am
admitted during the campaign the president has said over and over he's decimated al qaeda. he's acknowledged they have satellite operations in yemen and other places. with this evacuation in pakistan it raises the question are things really decimated there and in other parts of northern africa which the administration acknowledged, it complicated their ability to deal with this terrorist message and also make sthur that personnel remains secure. >> it's question that will be asked of the president today. thank you, major. and the terror threats are reaching pakistan this morning. as mentioned they're pulling out of lahore. charlie rose asked about the state of al qaeda in his interview with former secretary some of state and cbs news contributor condoleeza rice. >> we had a terror threat this
8:07 am
week at a time when we watched the decimatinon. what does that say? >> it's a very clear warning that we're not done. it's very clear that zawahiri is continuing to target the u.s. interest. yes, it's different than the one from 9/11. it's more dispersed. people call it a franchise operation. >> afigure yacht. >> affiliate. these affiliates are very dangerous so we'd better keep our guard up, keep those structures and mechanisms that have allowed us to prevent a major attack since september 11th 2001. >> do you support what the president did and secretary kerry did? >> i know what it's like to sit in that seat and i'm not going to second-guess the president and secretary of state. >> do you think they were
8:08 am
influenced by benghazi? >> they should have been influenced by benghazi because clearly we didn't have security measures on the ground in benghazi on september 11th the anniversary this the islamists took advantage of. remember rhetoric matters whechbl you say al qaeda is on the run, they're not. al qaeda has morphed into something different. we have to have the staying power both psychologically and in actuality to continue to be vigilant so that we don't experience another major attack. >> it's going to be an important question firefighter the president today, this question about the war on terror. the president gave a speech on this about beginning to change our focus in light of all these new terror threats. >> well, certainly there's a lot of action this week, particularly in yemen. >> all right. 16 people ranging from president bill clinton to oprah winfrey are getting most important honor an american civilian can get. they'll receive the presidential

8:10 am
and conan o'brien tweeted of all the thrills in my career getting to style beyonce's hair is way up there. her actual stylist said she was ready to make a statement. okay. >> i like it. >> okay local weather is starting off with some clouds definitely humid out there. we've had some showers early on. some of the showers now are out towards cumberland and moving across the state line. expect for thunderstorms this afternoon. any of those could fire up and be heavy at times creating drenching downpours and localized flooding. 88 degrees today. the 60s tonight. we will call a it it 70 degrees. 69 is the low with humid would you mind your driving being tracked if it meant you could save money on your car insurance? we're going to look at the new tracking technology that has some privacy advocates worried. plus, all that mattered 39
